About Cyril.

English

After a short career as a professional drummer and as a photographer at the same time, Cyril Meroni started to work on moving image in 2002, fisrt of all with the director Bruno Ulmer, as a special effects monitor (Arte), and then within the collective of artists Anonymal.

His career was enriched by collaborations: in 2008, he signed two video clips with the dancers of the Ballet National of Marseille; in 2009 an experimental movie showed in the Museum of Fashion and in the FRAC (the Regional Fundings of Contemporary Art) with the stylist Fred Sathal; in 2010 a ideo clip with the musician Danton Eeprom. In 2011, he cosigned the creation Submerso (mise-en-scene, video, and scenrography) with the choregrapher Ana Matins.

In addition, he placed his abilities as a regissor at the service of several international festivals(actOral, Festival International du Documentaire, Seconde Nature, EXIT,…) et d’artistes (Blanca Li, Hubert Colas).

Cyril Meroni has endeavoured to put the movie object as a result of set of provisions just as his latest realisation (Aphélie 2013), in which one can observe a dancer in levitation. The script rests on a certain fragility with which he builds the surprises of a shooting, the part of uncertainty and improvisation, such conditions that he has used over and over again and that lay the foundations of his creation process.
